Would that be Bob Cooper providing the tenor fills and occasional solo? Anyone has any info on the line-up? Sounds like a band full of cracks!

Ok, just got mine and am 15 minutes in by now - nice!

I guess I'll get mine in time for x-mas 2012 It's been in the mail since Dec. 9 but not trace of it yet

Happy Birthday! :party:

Will definitely get it, the IoW performance is terrific! And just as Mike, I'll be happy to have it audio only, as I rarely put on DVDs... Most people seem to have remembered the Tiny Tim show and switched off when Miles came on ! There was a documentary on TV the other night showing some IOW 1970 footage (a bit of Miles) with one of the local old ladies serving tea and cucumber sandwiches to a gaggle of hippies. As a freebie too. Some fun documentation is in the Hendrix IoW film, too... similar stories... also how the small population of that island was virtually run over by the thousands and thousands of people attending these concerts (and they all had to get there with a ferry, I assume...)

Stan Getz and the Oscar Peterson Trio Dave Brubeck - All the Things You Are (with Lee Konitz and... Anthony Braxton!)

Sad news - don't have any books of his, but what I've seen was always mighty good! r.i.p.

Don van Vliet Vincent van Gogh Martin Scorsese

Got this one recently... it's much warmer than the "cool" noir sounds you might be looking for, but it's fine, nostalgic, recreating 40s LA, somehow (I guess that's the general idea behind Quartet West? Or at least the original one)... incorporating some music by Django/Grappelli, Jo Stafford, Chet Baker and Coleman Hawkins, as well as a short opening and closing bit from... you guessed it, "The Big Sleep", it works almost like an audio-film... very nice album!

sad news - r.i.p.

Congratulations! Time to spin the disc again, I guess...

No. The stuff on disc 4 of the #1 band set was out before (on Masters of Jazz) and it's worth the price of the set alone! It's absolutely fabulous, some magic Pres there!

50 now... waiting for the Herman Capitol... 8 Selects (Weston, Green, Brookmeyer, Amy, Williams, Tyner, 2x Hill) 1 Single (Wiley) That's scary, so many more in just 3 years... an a few hundred other discs, and a dozen or more other box sets... 69 big suckers 23 Selects 9 Singles again three more years gone by... the additional Selects mostly happened because of the great mosaic catastrophe that took place in the meantime...

See post #193 After mocking King Ubu for missing one of my post in the 'Ella in Hollywood' tread, I find myself in the same position for missing an earlier post here. I'll join Ubu in the Organissimo penitents corner

Oh, now I remember... but bear with me, it's almost a year!

I wonder, too... also I never heard about any production issues/errors before!

up - anyone has an idea where jazzdisco.org might have gotten their "early 1953" date from?

I've spoken to a few musicians, told them I enjoyed concerts etc, but the only autograph I got so far is from Rhoda Scott (see the Rhoda thread in the artists section for details). She signed the back of the booklet of the double disc "Very Saxy" that I brought with me, putting a little dedication onto the organ she's playing on the photo there - very nice to have this little memory of that great night!

It was deleted because it made too obvious a reference to bootlegs... or something along those lines. This IS the Miles in Boston thread now!

If pitch is variable, to get it right is a lot of work! I'd not trust any software... if it's wrong at constant speed (or getting faster/slower constantly as the tape runs) that can be fixed. But determinig the offset has to be done by someone with good enough ears... it's not mathematics! I'd not try this myself - I just follow instructions of others who I trust can provide the necessary information.

Terry Bozzio Clark Terry Terry Clark ahm, Terry Clarke, rather...

The bonus track on Lionel Hampton's Impulse album is "Jingle Bells"... quite a bit of fun!

Yes brownie, that's the one this thread was about originally! Very nice set, got to sit down and spend some serious time with it yet though...

Reading all your guesses it becomes obvious to mee how bad I got at recognizing tunes... I was much better at this some years back, but I guess having stopped playing (even if just for my own pleasure) makes a change in that. I love Trane's "Crescent", hence I should have gotten "Lonnie's Lament", and even more so I should have gotten "Filles"!
